Computer and manual administration of the Eysenck Personality Inventory

Abstract
Administered mental health patients (10 outpatients and 8 inpatients) the Eysenck Personality Inventory using computerized and manual format. In a cross‐over, counterbalanced design scores for the three EPI scales did not differ between administrations. Test‐retest reliability between forms was high and comparable to previous reliability reported for the manual form. It was suggested that automation of routine testing procedures may be a viable and economical alternative to traditional methods.
